Contemporary yogis usually look to Patanjali’s Yoga-sutras for an introduction to yoga philosophy. But the Yoga-sutras are actually for yogis who already know the underlying philosophy for Patanjali’s particular system of yoga. If you want to understand the philosophy behind all of the classical yoga systems – including Patanjali’s – then you want to study the Bhagavad-gita.
The Bhagavad-gita is an ideal guide for personal spiritual development. Its non-sectarian blend of philosophy and theology takes us beyond intellectual speculation and formulaic religion to universal truths that shine a spiritual light on our lives and guide us along a path of deeper meaning and higher purpose.
The Bhagavad-gita is also a guide to enlightened spiritual activism. The world’s problems can’t be solved by using the same kind of thinking that gave rise to those problems in the first place. The Gita offers us universal principles for spiritual activism that have the power to bring about real social transformation.
